I’ll Give You The Sun Staged Reading
Written by Kailee Goldberg, a fellow Theatre major, and adapted from the book with the same title, I’ll Give You The Sun is about the coming of age of twins Noah and Jude. The play is currently still in progress, and there will be a talk-back after the performance for Kailee to get feedback from the audience as she moves forward with writing.
Learn more about the artists' creative process in this conversation featuring members of the Thalea Quartet and the St. Lawrence String Quartet moderated by The Clarice's Artistic Planning Coordinator for Music Austin Sposato.
